Q:diagnostic policy access denied

Using Vista Home Premium

I've tried everything. run the services. msc as administrator, did a system restore (with Norton disabled and in Safe mode), did the netsh winsock reset catalog, did tcp/ip repair, scanned as administrator....

On yesterday, I read a blog from Prevx regarding the "black screen" that is happening with a lot of Windows 7 and Vista users after running updates, etc (I run Vista). I thought this may have been my problem, as I have a 1.5 yr old monitor that just blacks out at will. I attempted to download the fix, directly from the blogsite, Prevx Black Screen Fix Blog and from that point, lost my internet connection (wireless), and could not reconnect.The fix was an executible file, "fixshell.exe" with additional instructions to run "http://info.prevx.com/download.asp?GRAB=BLACKSCREENFIX", after download through the Task Manager. By the time I clicked on the download, the internet connection was lost. I called the support desk for Belkin (the wireless router) and LinkSys (the wireless adapter), and both said their components were operating fine after a few instructions.When I hover over the network icon in the system tray I recieve this message: "The dependency service or group failed to start". I am also unable to do a Restore as all the Restore Dates have been wiped out.When I click on the network icon to 'diagnose and repair', I receive this message: "Could not start diagnostic policy service on local computer. Error 5: Access denied." I get this also when I attempt to manually start the Diagnostic Policy Service.I ran RegistryPatrol last night, and attempted to change the parameters of the DPS by creating a "Trusted Installer&quo...

Running around in circles for hours trying to resolve this issue. Message is Event ID: 7023 The Diagnostic Policy Service service terminated with the following error: Access is denied. This problem is NOT about accessing the internet, as I am here on the forum posting this. It's about other event errors caused by this. Event ID: 7023 Diagnostic Service Host service terminated with the following error: The requested control is not valid for this service and Event ID: 7023 The Diagnostic Service Host service terminated with the following error: The requested control is not valid for this service.

The DPS service is set to automatic start up, but it can't start at boot, which I assume that it is a SYSTEM privilege. I checked every entry of the User right assignment of the Local Security Policy and made sure that the SYSTEM, the Admin, and myself (I am the Admin) have access to everything. This is a single user desktop without password or user restrictions. I also modified the registry of the DPS Start: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DPS\Start and tested it with the values of 0, 1, 2, and 3 and rebooted each time, but it made no difference.

I know their are other threads on here about this particular problem but I am not having any luck with their suggestions so here it is:

I have also tried system restore, but the problem originated before any of the system restore points were created.

This is a customers computer, and I am convinced something happened around 4 or 5 months ago right after he switched from Cricket Mobile Broadband to a standard cable internet connection.

I have tried too many things to list but still with no luck;
- Un-installing and re-installing SP1 and 2
- Re-Installing wireless and wired internet connection drivers and utilities
- Substituting svchost.exe with backed up versions in c:winsxs
- Using a hacking utility to set all the NTFS permissions of the file to allow everyone to do anything
- Scanned for Malaware
- SFC /SCANNOW and CHKDSK /F (both did not find anything)
- Startup Repair from the Vista Install disc

I am tired of messing with it so I backed up all of his files onto my external 500gb USB HDD and I'm going to try re-installing vista... this sucks HELP!!

A:No Access to Diagnostic Policy Service

hi,,,, dig out your recovery disc and run a system file check,,, this will replace all corrupt of missing system fileshttp://www.support4vista.com/tips/system-file-checker.htmi also found this ,,,, it makes good reading,,, second post sounds good http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums...1-bfa3aae90458/good luck.

in services, it was denied for some reasoni changed it to manual, butthe "start" is greyed out when i right click on it.when i open properties, i can change the startup type (manual, auto etc...)but, if i try to change anything in the log-on tab, or the recovery tabi get the "error 5" message...

i did have IO-bit Advanced SystemCare installed i ju8st removed it.i did a sweep with malwarebytes, and cleaned the system with CC cleaner.

i also had a hard drive that i had lost access topossible it was a permissions thing.i re-formatted it, and that is all OK nowas far as i know.not sure if its related, but, its the last problem i had.

thanksBrad

A:Diagnostic Service Host: access denied ?

Hi there Brad Since you had Advanced System Care installed I suspect it's the culprit. ASC is considered a "system optimizer" which usually includes a so-called "registry cleaner" - using these are not recommended at all since they carry a very high risk of messing up the Windows Registry - thus breaking your Windows installation.And iOBit's reputation is not that good, as they are known for shady work ethics - the most famous one is them stealing the definitions database from Malwarebytes Corporation.If you are using CCleaner, I recommend that you NEVER use the Registry Cleaner option for the reasons I listed above.Hope this helps.Regards,Alex

Hi -- On my wife's computer I changed to "Diagnostic" mode with msconfig, but now it won't let me change back to normal startup. Annoyingly it won't allow me to launch my network either, so no internet connection. So I can't run any SysInfo programs...

The msconfig message is "An Access Denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes.". However there is only one user account.

No, I do NOT have any HP hardware or software. Running Windows XP with SP3. Dell PC.

A:msconfig gives access denied, now stuck in Diagnostic mode

I do NOT have any HP hardware or software. Running Windows XP with SP3. Dell PC.Click to expand...

What's the model name and model number of that Dell computer?

What's the "service tag" number and/or "express service code" number on it?

-------------------------------------------------------

Assuming it hasn't been disabled and it still has a list of restore points, have you tried using System Restore to revert back to a date and time BEFORE you made that change?

I have a Dell Vostro running Xp Pro SP3. I was trying to disable Autorun for all devices using the Group Policy editor. I ran gpedit.msc, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System. Right-moused on Turn Off Autoplay, clicked Properties. It says Not Configured. I clicked "enabled" and "all devices". Then, if I either click Ok or Apply, I get a message that says "The Group Policy snapin was unable to save your changes due to the following error: Access is denied".

Norton/Symantec, in its ever-ibimitable wisdom installs its Internet Security and Utilities packages into a locked folder(s). By locked I mean that one CANNOT modify (Rename, Delete, etc) the installed folder(s) and any of its sub-objects. I AM an administrator user, so I SHOULD (expect to) have such ability. Rather, I am issued Access Denied errors when attempting any form of modification of the folder(s) and/or its sub-objects. When attempting to change access security on the folder (modifying Administrator's access rules) I am again denied access...stupid. Can't get there from here!!!!

What does one do to overcome this most annoying impediment? I'm assuming that it would be through acces of the Local Security Policy function.

Probably some negative comment is due Microsoft for its clumsy implementation of security and the difficulty(s) trying to manage it, resulting in utter frustration.

I have a Windows 7 laptop, I haven't been able to log in to my laptop because it keeps saying "Group Policy Failed to Start, Access is Denied." this is my ONLY account on my laptop plus its an ADMINISTRATIVE account, I've tried installing a new driver for Group Policy, that didn't work (via safe mode), I've tried creating a new account through safe mode, it still doesnt work. Please help??

One of my user accounts have been getting the error above after a shutdown.I tried system restore but it did not work.I have tried disabling non-windows service on startup and that didn't workCan someone help me please!!

A:The Group Policy failed the logon. Access Denied

Here are instructions on how to fix it, or at least, how I fixed a computer at school once.

1. Logon to the machine with a machine administrator account (assuming this issue is with a domain account, if not logon to the machine using another account with administrative privilege). 2. Move the machine to a workgroup from domain. (If it was part of one workgroup then change it to another one or join a domain.) You could do this through Control Panel\System and Security\System and then Change Settings. 3. Restart the machine and logon with a machine administrator account. 4. Delete your user profile data (or move it a different location) completely from c:\users. "C" in my case is system directory but if you have a different one then use that one. 5. Join the machine back to domain account (or to workgroup that the machine was originally joined to), and restart the machine. 6. Logon with your domain account that you were having trouble with. Keep fingers crossed. If all goes well, you should be logged on.

I cannot open my computer, I get this message. It is a personal computer and I am the only user so i can't log on with an administrator account. I can press f8 to get to that screen, but don't know what to do after that. I found Pianiste on one of the
forums who had the same issue about a year ago but could not see if she was able to solve this problem. The person who sold me the computer set it up so that I would not need a password. It is Windows 7. Would appreciate it if anyone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance. sorry if this is the wrong forum, can't see which one would be better.

Now what? Tried system restore, again. At least once a week now.The real question is WHY!!!??? Why at all? Why all the time. Vista has been the MOST frustrating operating system we have owned. Almost 20 years with computers, and I can't believe I keep buying Microsoft. OMFG....At least once a week we have issues. Compatibility, profiles deleted, uploaded files just gone for no reason, login failed. Our frustration has finally peaked.How do we get this POS working again?

A:The group policy client failed the logon. Access is denied?

Hello FedUpVistaSucks,Can you provide some system specs, thanks.Do you have a Vista DVD/CD ?. Can you get in via safe mode ?.When we get a bit more info, we can get into it.

All of a sudden I am unable to access my computer desktop due to the above error message.

I have an acer laptop which came pre installed with windows vista basic so I have no disc... It is a home computer so the only logon we use is the profile named 'aver valued customer' which doesn't require a password.

I can get as far as this icon but everytime I click it I get the above message. I have tried running in safe mode and have also tried system restore but keep getting back to this initial logon screen which doesn't work.

Can anyone please help??

A:Group policy server failed logon. Access is denied.

Welcome to the forum. when you get to the login page is there any option to login as another user often just an arrow next to the name or switch user it seems it thinks its on a domain and your trying to login to a domain that you dont have. Can you get to safe mode with a cmd prompt?

I am a system administrator. In My organization we have few users who frequently getting the group policy error When they login into their respective machine. They are able to login after typing password multiple times and some times its works after
reboot. We have recreated the uses profiles multiple times and also replaced laptops.

We have also tried to rename the roaming profile of the users in the server. Issue occurs everyday when they login for the first time and for some users it happens when ever they unlock the machine.

Client OS : win 8.1
Profile : Roaming
Can you please help me on this ?

basically what's wrong is that every time i try to log into my user's profile i get a message saying 'Group Policy Client Service Failed the logon - Access Denied' and then am prevented from logging in. if anyone can help me resolve this issue i would be very grateful. thank you.

A:Group Policy Client Service Failed the logon - Access Denied

Can you provide more details about your setup?

Is this a domain or local account? What Windows Group(s) is it a member of? Do you have other accounts that you can log into?

i'm facing one issue with the roaming profile, when i'm trying to login on all machines (7 machines about) i receive this error message ''
The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access denied.

Please help i have done many searches and i can't seem to find anything to fix my issue.My computer said it needed to do an update so i let it run the update and it prompted to restart the computer so i did that, i logged to my user account which is the administrator account and it said it didn't recognize my user profile so i was using a temp profile. Somehow my computer was unplugged and when i started it up it brought me to the user log in page i tried to log in and it says group policy client service failed log on access is denied. I can log on the standard user account but not my account which is the administrator account. But i can log on to the administrator account in safe mode. I don't understand and need lots of help to get back in to my account...

A:group policy client service failed logon access is denied

Go into Safe Mode as admin and try a System Restore : Start button / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore.

I only have one account on my computer and its my administrative account. When i try to log on this message pops up and it: Group Policy Client Service Failed the logon Access Denied and then it logs me out i cant even enter my computer

I would really appretiated if someone could tell me how to fix it without having to send in my computer for repair and paying 200 something dollars.

I got the dreaded "User Profile Error - Logged on with a Temporary Profile" screen 2 days ago. I saw google updater briefly before my system restarted and I've read that may be a cause. Anyway, I was able to back up most of my files. I restarted my laptop and to my surprise, it was back except the theme was different and couldn't be altered which I could deal with. A few other things were off but it was usable.

Unfortunately, a little before midnight, there was a power outage. My laptop has a dead battery (well almost dead so it gives you about a minute) so I just shut down without closing each program one by one. I force quit but it did shut down on its own. The power came back on but I got the following error when I tried to login this afternoon.

"The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied"

I'm running Vista Ultimate. I could not get past the login screen. I could login in as guest but I only had one administrator account. I was able to boot in safe mode and my files are still there. I was even able to export my Firefox history, save my passwords and do a back up of that. I created a new administrator account in safe mode. I was able to login and use my laptop normally (connect to internet etc) but of course, it's not my real account.

I do not have the cd that the laptop came with because it was a hand-me down, come as is. I've been using it since 2006. I cannot do a system restore,... Read more

A:The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied

Lets hope with a little luck the explanation given in this great tutorial resolves your problem.User Profile Error - Logged on with a Temporary Profile

It seems I had some sort of Trojan/Virus at some point. Looks like I got rid of it for the most part considering Malwarebytes and Kapersky no longer pic up any sort of inefection. However it left some lasting damage in the form of that error message that I get when I try to log on my main user.I can still access it in safe mode but that is it. Only thing I was able to do so far was just create an entirely new user with admin rights and transfer everything from one to the other. However now with this new user I keep getting a counterfeit windows error that won't go away. So fixing my orignal one and regaining access to it would be nice. All attempts so far have failed so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

A:the group policy client service failed the logon. Access is denied

Hi,
Before going any further, I would like to verify these situations:
1 Did this issue appear before?
2 Did your PC in a domain?

I suggest to perform some tests which mention in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/thread/c88515b4-4be7-4f6f-9988-80f8a5683b41
Even though they are for Vista, they should be applicable to Windows 7 too.

If this issue persists, you can try to make a system restore:
Perform a system restore in WinRE
1) Restart PC
2) Press “F8” and select “Repair Your computer”
3) choose System Restore.

Also this link may helpful to you:

A computer was handed to me to fix. Well it's a Windows 7 laptop. I'm not actually by it right now so I can not tell you the manufacturer at the moment; but I'll try to explain everything I can.
I usually am very good with this stuff but the thing is, I've only came across an error like once before and I had to wipe the hard drive clean and re install everything. However my friend, she doesn't want me to do that. So. I have to try to save it all.

I've tried a lot I guess. It won't boot in safe mode, obviously, and it won't log at all, obviously. There's no second account. So now you know this. I'll continue on with what I've done.
I've done a couple things, actually. Before I tell you what I've done. I just so happened to be able to get in once. It logged in and said desktop could not be found and all that jazz. I was able to run SuperAntiSpyware and it got tracking cookies and like probably 1 or 2 Trojans and I removed those. Then it restarted and locked out with the same error.
I booted up with Kasperky CD I made a while ago. Didn't help, not really surprised. I went to go do system restore multiple times and none of which worked. There's other things I tried but can't remember at the moment. Honestly. I'm lost on what to do right now. I have no idea how on earth I would fix this.

I can't tell you on the specs on the computer because I can't access it so I can't get them. Also I do not have a disc from Microsoft for windows 7 recovery. I just read that doing t... Read more

You might want to work on the steps here Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot and report your findings.

Hey, I have my problem of my computer, my computer says "The group policy client failed to logon.

Access is denied".

I tried to use regedit to edit values of mine, but it says access is denied. Also everything of my PC such as changing my themes not working.

My computer got infected, but it must be hijacked by a virus and my major error caused while im getting a crack + keygen for AVC ultimate's license. I've tried EVERYTHING such as antivirus, PC cleaners, etc. and more but still getting access is denied.

1) I've wonder not sure If i download a game, should I get an error access is denied?

2) If im downloading a software such as Audacity, Bittorrent (Except Softwares containing viruses), should I'll get access is denied error?

I have been trying for the last 2-3 weeks to get a fix for the Diagnostic Policy Service problem, that has been around since at least 2008, in Vista.What is the solution, MICROSOFT, please to get this working on my pc, to get it back on the internet.

Running Vista, but cannot start Diagnostic Policy Service. Message states: "Windows could not start the Diagnostic Policy Service service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied." Network diagnostics cannot run because the Diagnostics Policy Service is not running, I am connected to a network with limited capability but cannot get onto the internet.

Perhaps unrelated but had a problem exactly one month prior having to do with bogus anti-virus software.

"Running Vista as admin, but cannot start Diagnostic Policy Service. Message states: "Windows could not start the Diagnostic Policy Service service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied." Network diagnostics cannot run because the Diagnostics Policy Service is not running, and windows cannot find a network to connect to."

I searched the net and got information about system restore. I was able to do that and still can't connect to the net. When I did that, I couldn't sset my own restore date.

Infact, the connected icon has an X on it. It always did when I had my previous connection.

All I've done is change network provider and I can't log on to the net. Please help.

When I try to run System Restore, Network Troubleshooter and other Windows diagnostic tools I get an error message stating "The Diagnostic Policy Service Is Not Running" which results in the diagnostic tool not running. How do I fix this?

I don't know if it matters, but I have a SSD Hard Drive.

As best I recall, the Sysinfo utility wasn't available the last time I was here, but I really like it!

Thanks,

Lynn

A:Diagnostic policy service not running

Ok, welcome to Bleeping Computer Forums,

Click Start>Click Run> Type Services.msc

this will load windows services control panel with will allow you to enable disable start and stop services and set when they run.

in the list scroll down and find some thing called diagnostic policy service

once you have found this service check that it is set to automatic and the service is started

you can see in the image where it states status this should be set to running and startup type to automatic.

if the service is not running but set the manual or automatic delayed for what ever reason just click on start and the service will start

to stop and start services is located on the left hand pane of the services control panel.

if however the service is set to disabled re enable it and then start the service restart the pc and re run the diagnostic tool.

have you switched your router on and off again to reset the router and restarted the pc if no please do this as well as the above is yes just do the above.

I have read threads and followed instructions for 5 days. Recently was gifted a Dell Inspioron laptop with Windows 7 home premium. I do not have discs, they were discarded at estate sale of precious owner. Suddenly and randomly have this diagnostic service error. My wifi is running. My ultimate question is can I download needed 7 drivers to iPad and install via use cable to laptop. My son is electronics side mgr of the electronic half of store and said not compatible with 10 and to let it go...however, I like the laptop and just my iPad is again frustrating. I want to fix this problem. How?

Hello Gurus,
Hope this finds you doing well.
I'm getting the error "The Diagnostic Policy Service is not running", because of which I'm not able to get any wireless signals on my PC. Actually I was working offline on a virtual machine installed on my PC for a week without connecting to Internet.
The same time I started getting the error from Norton antivirus installed on my PC - "Norton has encountered an error 5013 3", which I fixed, but the windows error remains. Pl help.

When i try to start the "Diagnostic Policy Service" I recive this error
message: (translated from Norwegian)

"windows could not start the Diagnostic Policy Service service on Local
Computer. Error: 5 ? Access is Denied"

I have tried it in several user accounts including the administrator one.

Anyone know the cause of this problem? I cant get the internet too work on my vista computer, and I need too find out what the problem is. But its not that simple when the diagnostic policy service doesnt start.

(And im running vista ultimate)

Thanks in advance.

A:Cannot start the Diagnostic Policy Service

I have the identical problem. This started on my wifes computer yesterday for no reason whatsoever. The computer had no known updates or installs between sessions. The only event was the computer (laptop) was put into sleep mode. When it was repowered, the internet failed to work although the network says it is connected, WLM fails to connect, and DPS fails to allow access with error code 5. Hopefully there are answers regarding this issue soon. This is a Swedish OS as well.

Hello, I have looked at many threads and done various trouble shooting. However there is no way i can connect to the internet, wifi or ethernet cable.... Keeps saying diagnostic policy service error or wont start...

It has stopped connecting to the internet through the house wireless router although all other devices in the house can connect. If I try to run troubleshooter I cannot and get a message that the Diagnostic Policy Service is not working.

I have tried to follow answers I have found through Google but without any success. I cannot even restore to an earlier point as the restore fails.

Just purchased a company PC fully refurbished for super cheap. It's running Windows 7 and no issues with setup.

I have just moved into a rental and had the internet connected on the NBN. My connection is fine and all my lights including the LAN which is connected to my PC are illuminated. Full internet service via wi fi.

I am getting a "Network Diagnostic Policy Not Running" error message when I try and connect a new Broadband Connection to my PC. My LAN icon on screen has red X and computer won't automatically detect.

This started happening when I accidentally turned off my computer whilst it was booting.

I have tried sfc /scannow, I have done the CMD thing (net localgroup Administrator) and have tried manually starting the service, to no avail.

Here is a screenshot of what I think appears to be the problem. I am the sole administrator of my computer.
